Valentine's Day Decorations and a Free Printable!

I put up a few Valentine's Day decorations today. I don't have a mantle, which I think is the best spot for holiday decor, so I put mine on the kitchen counter. Maybe this will remind Zach that Valentine's Day is approaching and he can plan accordingly. He is a Valentine's Day scrooge.

Here's a quick break down. I cut out the glitter hearts from a glitter craft foam sheet I got at Hobby Lobby, for under a dollar. Then I hot glued the hearts to the ribbon. This was quite the process because my cat kept laying on my ribbon while I worked. The candles are just plain white candles, I wrapped heart shaped ribbon around them that I bought from the Target dollar section. The XOXO print I made in Microsoft Word, and the framed heart I simply cut out of scrapbook paper. The other accessories are things I had around the house.

My original plan was to use this print that I designed, but then my printer decided to stop working. Wah-waaah. So I thought I would put it here for you instead! Just click to enlarge, save to your computer, print, and frame to add to your own Valentine's Day vignette.
